Global Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) Security Market is estimated to reach $14 billion by 2024; growing at a CAGR of 3.7% from 2016 to 2024. CBRN security refers to the various procedures and equipment used to protect, detect, and decontaminate chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear agents, which can cause mass destruction. CBRN incidents can occur accidentally, intentionally, or naturally. Growing worldwide concern over the prevention of CBRN attack has propelled the growth of the CBRN security market globally. Various developing countries such as China and India are increasing their expenditure in adequate security structure to prevent the occurrence of nuclear accidents.

Increased threat from terrorist organizations, demilitarization initiatives adopted by various nations, and rise in worldwide demand for radiopharmaceuticals are the major factors driving the global CBRN security market. However, high installation and maintenance cost would restrain the market growth in coming years. Technological advancement in CBRN security equipment would provide several growth opportunities for the market in coming years.

The global CBRN security market has been segmented on the basis of type and function. By type, the market is segmented into chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear. The nuclear segment accounted for the largest market share in 2016, owing to its huge demand in developing nuclear weapons and increased usage of nuclear power as a source of renewable energy in electricity generation.
